"A world
whose aggregate economy is now valued at US $20 trillion  five times
more than in the 1950s  must have more than enough to feed, clothe,
shelter, educate, lengthen the life and provide greater freedom of
movement to every man and woman on this planet. But such wealth is not
shared equitably among and within nations and societies and is in fact
concentrated in the hands of the powerful few. It is not going to be
shared equitably for as long as there is no fundamental change in
ideology and institutions in which the current order rests."

Laurens Van Der Post
said: "I hear people everywhere saying that the trouble with our
time is that we have no great leaders anymore. If we look back we
[have] always had them. But to me it seems there is a very
profound reason why there are no great [political] leaders anymore.
It is because they are no longer needed. The message is clear.
You no longer want to be led from the outside. Every man must be
his own leader. He now knows enough not to follow other people. He
must follow the light that's within himself, and through this light he
will create a new community."

"And if we will
only make the right choice, we will be able to transform this
pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of peace. If we will make
the right choice, we will be able to transform the jangling discords
of our world into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. If we will
but make the right choice, we will be able to speed up the day, all
over America and all over the world, when justice will roll down
like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream  James
Russell Lowell
